    Since we're on the subject, I'd like to say thanks to Jerry for being so helpful. He and John and Rick have always been nothing but kind and forthcoming w/info. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to fish w/them again this season.

    Ok Here I go; I have posted alot of pictures this fall/winter People have asked me for help. I have given it to them. I have also been put into the right direction from people on this site.

    At times I might give a little bit of crap to XXL. However, XXL and I know it is in fun.

    As far as Coffeen, Sangchris, and Newton are not really small lakes. Are they? Our tax dollars pay for them to astablish limits etc. If I am wrong please let me know

    The people that look at this site and never reply to everyone posting have an issue. I believe these people would not fair as well as they do if they did not take our free information and utilize what they have read? (All Comments Welcome)

    Tite lines to all people who use this site as a tool and expand there abilities with what has been said and offer information to assist the next fellow angler.

    My 2 Cents and may a buck or two

    xxl is basically my neighbor and you cant ask too meet a nicer guy. hey and if you listen to him you might learn a thing or two from him also. as for people belly aching about "their" smaller lakes, maybe they need to check and see who owns that lake. who cares ask xxl john or delmar how many times they have told someone about a spot and this person fishes this spot and one of these three guys will go in right after them and still catch a ton of fish. who cares it doesnt matter if someone tells someone else about a lake. Bobber down set the hook. have fun and just fish

    Posting Private Messages is against the rules. Report unacceptable PMs just like a regular post. Slab and the Mods will handle it.

    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.:rolleyes:

    Good info guys. Just my take on it. We all pay taxes and we all have rights. Just cus someone gives out good info doesn't mean your gonna catch fish. It's all about the hunt. That's the part I like. Info given is usually for that moment and might not work the next day or at all. We all have to go fishing and have an open mind when it comes to tactics. So when people post it's out of love for the sport. Not them trying to give away honey holes. Tighlines and good feeeshin!

    Just because somone posts that they have success doesn't mean that your favorite lake will be ruined the next week. I enjoy reading here about everyones successes. The fact is a lot of people reading the info here are living vicariously through you guys that actually have time to get out and fish. I don't post about my fishing trips because I rarely have any success! I can read that folks are catching them from a certain bank at a certain depth with a specific color and still come home with a empty bucket! Lol.. This is usually my luck and that's on the one day a month I actually have time to get out.. I understand though how much time and effort the guys that regularly catch limits put into this sport. I never expect the same results from just reading info here and going out as infrequently as I do.. I have learned it's actually cheaper for me to hire a guide two or three times a year. It's less money then I would spend on boat payments, gas, etc.. It's not uncommon for me to work 20-30 days straight, so when I get to go fishing I actually want to catch something.. I guess my point is take it easy on the guys posting info. It's the closest some of us get to catching fish!
